BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Great news for fans of Taqueria Guzman, the Mexican food wagon that has become a mobile institution on West Valley Avenue in Homewood.

Brothers Daniel and Jaime Guzman have bought a shiny, new truck, and this one just opened for business last week at the intersection of First Avenue North and 14th Street near Innovation Depot in downtown Birmingham.

It’s called Taqueria Dos Hermanos — which is Spanish for “two brothers” — and it is so named in honor of Daniel Guzman’s two sons, 16-year-old Jeffrey and 12-year-old Jordi, whose pictures are featured on the back panel of the truck.

While Jaime Guzman continues to man the truck on West Valley Avenue, Daniel Guzman and his wife, Anel Pineda, take care of the new business downtown.

The tacos are $2 each, and the tortas, burritos and quesadillas are $6.

A tostada with ceviche, which is a seafood dish popular in Central and South America, is $2.

Daniel Guzman says he soon may broaden the menu to meet the requests of some of his Latino customers. He’s also considering opening for breakfast.

The Guzman brothers, who are from Michoacan, Mexico, operated food trucks in Los Angeles and Atlanta before they opened Taqueria Guzman in West Homewood about six years ago — a good three or so years ahead of the food truck movement that has since spread through Birmingham and into the suburbs.

In 2010, Taqueria Guzman received a “Best of the South” travel award from the editors of Southern Living magazine, who also ranked it sixth on the magazine’s list of the South’s 10 best food trucks.

“Look how beautifully this is composed,” Edge raved about their meal. “I mean, the bracketing of the avocado slices, the chop of the cilantro on top. It’s not low-rent food. It’s artisanal food in this place on a foam plate.”

So with that kind of good pub, it shouldn’t take long for word to get around about Taqueria Dos Hermanos, too.

Steve Bailey, who has operated Bailey’s Corner gas station and convenience store at the corner of First and 14th since 1976, says Guzman’s food truck is a welcome addition to the area.

Bailey has agreed to let Guzman park his truck in the same lot as his store.

“He approached me about needing a place to park, and I felt like it would be an asset for me, as well,” Bailey said. “So we worked out a deal where he can park on my lot, and I think it’s going to work out great.

“One reason is the quality of food,” Bailey adds. “I have had so many people give rave reviews about how good his food is. If it’s going to be on my lot, I want it to be good, you know.”

Taqueria Dos Hermanos is open from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

On Saturdays and Sundays, it is parked outside the Bessemer Flea Market at 1013 Eighth Ave. North in Bessemer.
